Soft gelatin capsules as food supplements.

Food supplements are foodstuffs aimed for supplementing the normal diet in conditions when it does not satisfy the total daily needs for nutrients.

They are concentrated sources of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, herbal substances, essential oily acids, essential amino acids or phyto fibers) mostly found as pharmaceutical dosage forms (tablets, capsules, pastilles, powder sachets or ampoules) designed to be used in small measurable amounts.

They are used when nutrient intake through food is not sufficient to meet the daily needs.

Namely, for pregnant and lactating women, elderly people and those doing heavy physical work or in need of additional energy, the intake of supplement nutrients is essential. Indeed, the simple and easy method of administration enables precisely measured intake of the necessary nutrients, which is their additional advantage.
